New team unveiled...

The Atlanta Beat was announced as the ninth team joining WPS in 2010. Any thoughts on the name, logo, or team colors? Want to share your thoughts and discuss the Beat with other fans? Join the Atlanta Beat group!

Until then, welcome back, Beat!; ▶ Reply to This

I try to figure out who should be considered our "arch-rivals" from the WUSA days. You can make a case for Carolina (who always seemed to beat us when it counted), Atlanta (for the sheer thuggery of the matches), or Philadelphia (particularly after the 2002 semifinal). We seem to be building one with Athletica, but it's too soon to tell.; ▶ Reply to This

Yellow and black seem to fit some tunes arising for a shoutalicios band from Atlanta that speaks of yellow jackets flying around my window. Lets beleive it and announce that it will be a succession of progressive passes and traps. Gole'. Bless. I am 6Characters.; ▶ Reply to This

Oh yes I forget Carolina, but they are not with WPS at this moment, hope Carolina will have a team in WPS with same name Carolina Courage.; ▶ Reply to This

Though name wise...

Atlanta Attack > Atlanta Beat (just mho)

Oh well, Chicago is my home, so doesn't matter much to me! ;); ▶ Reply to This

With the Yankees already in office with a sweet PO Box. in NYC. What would the life or currency of that trait of be for a discreet wooden symbol. IoI. Your gay. Atlanta Yellow Jackets. Fire (Red) Black (Injustice) Yellow (for Drafting) the sport. Senf it to the wind tunnel.; ▶ Reply to This
